All swatches over GDE's Control Freak primer. I found Terra Firma's primer to be a bit too difficult to spread across the length of my arm so, I pulled out some Control Freak!
I'd like to apologize in advance for the pictures of the labels. They're a very shiny silver that seem to take no water damage (huge plus) but that makes them a bitch to photograph.
Beach Bum - This one was another one that was a little difficult to photograph. It's a very pretty medium/light sandy beige with a gorgeous sheen and shine. It's also going to be a great inner corner color. It's a little too shiny for me to use as a highlight but, if you're into that kind of thing, this is a really pretty color.
Sugarplum - This looks like a light plum in the bag (again photographed horribly) but on the skin it's a little darker. It's also got quite the silver sheen. I love my purples so, I'll wear this one a lot.
Disco Ball - GORGEOUS silver with a ton of sparkle. The base is a bit of a silver/grey and the sparks are all light silver. It's such an amazing glittery shadow, I'm in love.
Easy Peasy - I thought this color was going to be one of the ones that I'd never wear because, in the jar, it looks very pastel-ish and I don't do pastels. It's actually a very light lime green. I love it.
Electric Smurf - Very sheer BRIGHT blue. I really like it, it's a great spring color.
Leather - This one is a matte and I thought it would be like most loose mattes and be a little difficult to work with. I was wrooong. This color is incredibly smooth and blendable and it's a gorgeous brown!
Hazelnut - O.M.G. Favorite out of the whole set, this is an amazing brown with so much sparkle. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Chocolate Diamonds - This is a really pretty chocolate brown with a bunch of sparkle. It seems to have just a tad bit of silver sheen to it, I really think it's pretty.
Black Amethyst - This is a really nice medium purple with a lot of purple sheen and sparkle. I thought this would be darker than it was because of the name but I'm actually glad that it wasn't. This is a new favorite purple.
Burlesque - Another matte that was really easy to work with. It's a brown with some purple tones. , It's really hard to explain. It's a really nice color though.
Tiger - A really nice medium orange with a pretty sheen. A very nice orange to have, I think I'll wear it a lot. It would also be gorgeous in Fall.
24K - A yellow tones gold, it's really nice. I don't have another gold like this, it's very subtle and nice.
Pose - A darker bright pink that has some red tones.
Mermaid - A very nice blue/green with some sparkle and sheen. The perfect mermaid color, imo.
Which are your favorites?!



















I love these shadows they are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked them! I was really surprised at how soft the mattes were!
DeleteI love them all, but chocolate diamonds, hazelnut, mermaid, and burlesque are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteHazelnut is my FAVORITE!! I can't wait to wear it.
DeleteI'm so glad to finally get to see swatches of these colors!! I've looked on the Terra Firma site at the shadows but could never commit without a swatch. I love Mermaid, Chocolate Diamonds, Hazelnut, & 24k. I actually have a sample of Black Amethyst from when I ordered my foundation sample set. Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteI know, I wish they had swatches! I liked them a lot more than I thought they would. In the jars shadows are just 'meh' for me, I really have to see them for my jaw to drop!
DeleteLoving the Smurf shade!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for swatching these! It's so hard to tell on the site. The colors are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI just ordered some Terra Firma cosmetics in large part because of your reviews. I can't wait until they come in the mail! I ordered mostly corrective makeup since I have a play coming up but I really want to try every single eye shadow on this page lol.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!! Let me know how you like everything!
